The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has been marred by reports of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) perpetrated against local women/girls. However, there is very limited empirical evidence on the community’s perceptions regarding these sexual interactions. Through a mixed-methods approach, this article examines community experiences and perceptions of SEA, with three prominent themes arising: peacekeepers as tourists, peacekeepers as sexual exploiters and abusers, and peacekeepers as ideal partners. Uruguayan (n = 107, 28.1 per cent) and Brazilian personnel (n = 83, 21.8 per cent) were most commonly named in SEA narratives. We explore how these perceptions of MINUSTAH peacekeepers undermine the purpose and legitimacy of UN peace support operations, and propose strategies to prevent and address peacekeeper-perpetrated SEA.

“他们去海滩，表现得像游客，喝酒，追逐女孩”：一项关于社区对海地联合国维和人员性剥削和性虐待的看法的混合方法研究

联合国海地稳定特派团（联海稳定团）因当地妇女/女童遭受性剥削和性虐待（SEA）的报道而受到损害。然而，关于社区对这些性互动的看法的经验证据非常有限。本文通过混合方法研究了社区对 SEA 的经验和看法，提出了三个突出主题：作为游客的维和人员、作为性剥削者和性虐待者的维和人员以及作为理想伙伴的维和人员。乌拉圭人 (n = 107, 28.1%) 和巴西人员 (n = 83, 21.8%) 最常出现在 SEA 叙述中。我们探讨这些对联海稳定团维和人员的看法如何破坏联合国和平支持行动的目的和合法性，并提出预防和解决维和人员实施的 SEA 的战略。
